Give The Unexpected A Chance

---

This old gal…

Decided to do the old sort and purge with books and puzzles…part with those read and completed…

Came across one in the closet…never opened…been there for years…not sure where it came from…a gift to that husband of mine before realizing he wasn’t a puzzle fan perhaps…

Put it in the to go pile…it looked hard…not really into tigers…have other puzzles more appealing…but then puzzle doer me felt guilty not giving tiger puzzle a chance…

And so she did…just to get it done so she could get rid of it…and something surprising happened…magical really…

Puzzle shunning me was sucked in by the colors…the brilliant mesmerizing colors…driven to work on it…driven to complete it…driven to see…the finished product…

And the finished product was so stunning…so beautiful…that that tiger puzzle may not be going in the good-bye pile after all…

And so it is…in life…sometimes the universe knows what we need…what we are looking for…and we’ll never find it…unless we give the unexpected…a chance…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
